5 bedroom detached house for sale

Why buy this home?

As soon as you turn off Newport Road onto Menday Gardens you get an immediate sense of the quality of this small development. Architecturally influenced by the Arts and Crafts era, the homes are spaced out and have been designed around a central play area with enhanced hard landscaping and conservation style block paving. More impressive is this home's setting within the development, being set furthest back from the road in a cul-de-sac of just three homes.

The entirety of the downstairs of the home has underfloor heating which enables the entrance hall to have large tiles without feeling cold. There is a separate WC and double doors leading to the breathtaking kitchen/dining/family room. At just under 10m in length, this room truly is the beating heart of this home. The kitchen area has an island which houses a wine fridge and disappearing plug sockets. There are four eye-level Neff ovens with one having steam functionality and one being a combi-microwave.

A hot water tap frees up space on the quartz work surfaces ensuring you can keep clean lines. The separate utility room off the dining area also enables the kitchen area to be free of cleaning products as well as providing a handy entrance to the garden which will come in useful after a day of exploring the surrounding countryside. As shown by the current owners, there is plenty of space for a 10-seater dining table as well as a comfortable seating area. The icing on the cake is the impressive bi-fold doors which mean this entertaining space can completely open up to the garden.

A porcelain tile patio makes the transition from inside to outside seamless. It stretches the width of the house offering two separate seating area. Raised borders with integrated lights also offer more casual seating. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn apart from a decked area which has been installed behind a neighbour's garage creating a completely private, south-facing area to take advantage of the sun.

The separate living room provides contrast to the large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room by offering a cosier space. With a feature bay to the front and French doors onto the garden, your favourite aspect is sure to be the two picture windows either side of the media wall. App-controlled Sonos speakers are installed in the ceiling to help set whatever mood you wish to create - they are also installed in the kitchen. Lastly, there is access through to what was the double garage, but has now been converted to further living space. Originally designed as an annexe meaning there is a kitchen and shower room, this room offers a multitude of uses such as a games room - we have virtually furnished two photos to help visualise how this room could be utilised. Further French doors lead to a small patio area and path that leads to the driveway. The garage doors to the front remain meaning this room could be converted back to a double garage by removal of the studwork.

A wrap-around staircase leads to the first floor and offers a space for a feature light fitting. There are five bedrooms in total, with the fifth having the ability to make a perfect study or nursery thanks to the sound-reducing nature of the construction. The spectacular principal bedroom benefits from its own dressing room and views over the development's central landscaped area directly opposite. The Laufen ensuite has underfloor heating, Minoli ceramic tiles and His & Hers sinks.

The second bedroom also has a Laufen ensuite with underfloor heating, as well as fitted wardrobes. Bedrooms three and four are positioned next to the Laufen family bathroom. There is also a cupboard housing the hot water cylinder as well as a dedicated airing cupboard for bedding and towels.
